Abstract
Recently emerging nanotechnological advancements has facilitated the embedment of metal-organic framework (MOFs) also referred as porous co-ordination polymers (PCPs), within conducting polymeric (CP) matrices (polyaniline, polypyrrole, poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) and so on), resulting in the fabrication of multifunctional MOF@CP nanoarchitectures for multifarious applications especially for electrochemical energy storage due to garnered enhanced features (low density, manipulatable porous architectures, elevated specific surface areas, aligned crystalline architectur)e, as well as controllable constitution at the molecular level. Therefore, this paper presents recently emerging trends in MOF@CP nanoarchitectures for applications in supercapacitors, lithium-sulfur batteries, metal-ion batteries, lithium-oxygen batteries, zinc-air batteries, batteries cover and other segments.
